Welcome to Year 6

Welcome to Year 6 at Mary Exton Primary School.   Our Year 6 cohort are really fortunate to have Miss Voyce join them for a second year in Year 6.  Miss Voyce is an extremely experienced teacher who has taught in Year 6 previously and is looking forward to sharing the exciting Year 6 journey with her class from last year.  She is supported by our Teaching Assistants Mrs Mumford & Mrs Mayse.

Miss Voyce teaches the class full time with Mrs Culligan taking the class on Wednesday afternoons to allow Miss Voyce to have her PPA time. 

On this page you will find important information that you may need throughout the year as well as being able to find an outline of the topics we are covering each term for every subject.  

Academically, the main focus in Year 6 is on getting the children ready for the national SATs, which this year take place between Monday 13th May 2023 – Friday 12th May 2024.  However, the SATs make up just a small part of what we do in Year 6 and the curriculum map below highlights the breadth and depth of our wider curriculum coverage.

Preparing our children for secondary school underpins everything we do here at Mary Exton in Year 6; we want our children to be as emotionally, socially, and academically ready for secondary school as is possible.  We therefore give the children lots of opportunities to develop their independence, resilience, team-working, and ability to work through issues.  To do this we bring in Mindfulness specialists, give the children jobs and additional responsibilities around the school and encourage them to take risks in their learning. 

Finally, we have our week long residential to look forward to in Year 6.  We are very excited about our trip to Lees Wood and the adventures we will be going on
